If sync's own record of what it owns cannot be read or is malformed, the entire adoption pass is skipped rather than claiming everything, until a sync round repairs it.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`[plugins] skills-dir plugin adoption skipped: sync manifest unreadable or malformed (fail-closed until a sync round repairs it)`\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
